Books and Conferences for Eclipse Plug-in Developers

Here are my Top 3 of new published books I’m using in my daily work of developing Eclipse Plug-ins in a model-driven way…

OSGI Service Compendium

EMF – Eclipse Modeling Framework

eclipse Plug-Ins

… now I only have to wait for the announced books of RCP and OSGI/Equinox – developing 😉

Yesterday I met Eric Clayberg and Dan Rubel in munich and received one copy of their new „eclipse Plug-ins“ book. Because I couldn’t wait, I already had bought it two weeks ago. Now Florian Pirchner has luck, because he’ll get this one – think he can use it for his work on redView (Riena EMF Dynamic View).

Also good news for UI developers using Riena Ridgets: the integration / code generation from SWTDesigner will be better in the near future, Eric told me.

BTW: Who doesn’t know: Riena is read-to-go for version 1.0. Congratulation !

We’ ll also try to make it easy to insert dynamic SWT Components (generated from redView) into SWTDesigner.

Then you’ll be able to design complex views using a comfortable GUI Designer and also include dynamic Components (like adress fields, …) … of course including databinding, Riena Markers and more.
